Why Use a Ledger® Wallet?

A Ledger® wallet is a hardware wallet, which means it stores your private keys offline. Unlike hot wallets or apps on your phone, a hardware wallet keeps your crypto safe from internet-based attacks.

Key benefits of a Ledger wallet include:

  • Offline key protection
  • Physical confirmation for transactions
  • Compatibility with 5,000+ cryptocurrencies
  • Built-in support for NFTs and staking
  • Direct management through Ledger Live

Ledger® wallets are ideal for both beginners and experienced users who want full control of their digital assets.

Unboxing and What to Expect

When you open your Ledger package, it should include:

  • One Ledger hardware wallet (Nano S Plus, Nano X, or Stax)
  • USB cable (type depends on the model)
  • Recovery sheet for writing your 24-word phrase
  • “Getting Started” card
  • Stickers and packaging documentation

If anything is missing, broken, or looks tampered with, stop immediately and contact official support.

Step-by-Step Setup Process

Step 1: Go to Ledgér.com/Start®

Open your browser and go directly to Ledgér.com/Start®. Do not use search engines or click on ads. Manually type the address to avoid phishing scams.

Step 2: Download Ledger Live

Ledger Live is the official application used to manage your crypto. You can install it on your Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android device.

Once installed, open the app and follow the on-screen instructions.

Step 3: Set Up Your Ledger Device

  1. Plug in your Ledger wallet using the provided USB cable (or connect via Bluetooth if using Nano X).
  2. Choose a secure PIN code on the device.
  3. Write down the 24-word recovery phrase on paper only using the provided sheet.
  4. Confirm your recovery phrase by entering the words in order.

⚠️ Important: This 24-word phrase is your backup. Never take a photo of it, never store it online, and never share it with anyone. Ledger will never ask for it.

What Is Ledger Live?

Ledger Live is the software interface that connects to your Ledger device. It allows you to:

  • Add and manage crypto accounts
  • Send and receive crypto safely
  • Buy, sell, or swap supported assets
